Remarkably smooth - surpassed my expectations. Not sweet, well-flavored - I am enjoying it neat. Strong enough to cause slight tongue numbness. A pleasing surprise.

Pleasant aroma, sweet, brown sugar, perhaps caramelized banana? Sweet and rich on the palate. Satisfyingly long finish.
Excellent rum with a smooth finish. It's somewhat of a blend between rum and whiskey. Overall, a pleasing beverage.
A respectable rum. Not ideal for sipping neat, but I acquired a bottle for use as a mixer.
